The Boss Fight you know and love has been upgraded! This is the first of a number of exciting fighting features coming to Mafia Wars this quarter! In this Boss Fight, you'll be tasked with taking out Roughhouse Rafael, and you're given one week to do it!

A full week of fighting?... Sounds like only those with high stamina will survive. On the contrary, stamina has nothing to do with this fight! Instead, you will need to collect 4 new ammos from jobs, wars, robbing, and, should you choose, gifting to bring down Roughhouse.

As for the new ammos, our informants tell us that it would be unwise to assume that any one of them is the best and use it the whole time. Apparently, the ammos, when used in certain sequences, unlock particularly damaging combos! You will have the opportunity to discover one such combo by completing a Quest Event that will run during the Boss Fight. You will have to discover other combos on your own or via your friends' feeds if they beat you to the punch.

You will have a chance to get one Secret Stash appear from doing jobs, fighting, or by robbing! I was doing a job and got it :

Ok, so I could not wait to get started! What I did was grabbing the icon of my 3 available friends and put each of them under Medium. (I chose Medium because on above screenshot, I got it "checked" already.. not sure if we can choose the other box ie Easy or Rare. Or perhaps it's just like our Operation where we are chosen on which kind of Secret Stash by the game).

Ok, I chose my friends but got this message :

Not sure what's happening, maybe I pass the 15 seconds time limit??? Or just not my lucky day to get one Secret Stash item..

When you're able to get it, you will see this kind of image :

So I only got error message, I can start to get help from my mafia.. I can chose any mafia and I'm sure this will reduce my gift request for today.. Since I only need 6 helpers for this Medium Secret Stash, I'd better to send 6-8 gift requests from recommended friends.

To see how many friends which already help you on this feature, go to Operations >> SECRET STASHES tab..

Nah I already asked for help, I will have to wait until at least 6 friends answer my request.

What my friends see will be like this on the FaceBook request page..

Or this one under Zynga Message Center (ZMC) list..

Just click on "Accept" button and you will send it to me.

The final person who answer my Secret Stash request will see this message :

Zynga have once again updated the Declare War feature with new rewards, achievements, timer and a refresh button!

If you visited your Declare War page, you can see this little green button located under "Fight". All the button does is to refresh your Declare War page to get new targets so you can go in war with them.

Besides the refresh button, there are also new reward items, achievements and timer update.

Click on the question mark button(?) on the Declare War page and you will be able to view the new achievements and rewards.

New Reward Items -

Click on the arrow sign(>) to view the Achievements page:New Achievements -

You can also find the information on how to achieve the particular achievement through the Achievements page located in your Profile.

And lastly, the Timer Update!

We can now declare war once every 8 hours, i'm sure it's a pretty great update from Zynga :)

If you actually went to the last page of the Social Modules on the main page(home) of Mafia Wars, you will get to see this.

You can click on "Collect" to collect consumables for the Boss Fight event that will be released soon. Upon clicking on the "Collect" button, you will see this popup that shows you which and what consumable you have collected.
